Sharknado. Shark. Nado.

It's basically exactly what it sounds like. In the Syfy TV movie (of course it is), a tornado made of sharks hits land in Los Angeles and causes all sorts of problems. It's technically a sequel to Sharktopus, and became such a cult hit that it's even getting a sequel.

It also features an A-List Hollywood cast, including Tara Reid, who, as you'll see if you click here, doesn't really know how the science of Sharknado works. In any case, these sharks are awesome and epic.
